Sean stepped in front of her and stood face to face with her. He was too close. Vera felt flustered. \"I’ve taken my child to school,” she began again. “It will be her last day today—\" With his back facing the elevator buttons, Sean pressed the close button. \"I’ll give you one last chance.\" Sean spoke bitterly. His eyes were as deep as ink, making her feel confused. Vera answered decisively without even thinking about it. \"Mr. Qiao, my choice is the same as yesterday.\" She was quite sure that her choice was right. Only by staying away from Sean can she stay away from Judith Song. This way, she can forget the pain she’d inflicted on her four years ago. \"You’ll come back soon enough.\" Sean’s cold eyes shot Vera, his tone like ice revealing an aura of danger. Sean turned around and struck the elevator buttons hard. The door opened and he left angrily. Vera finally walked out of the building. The sun
Danni walked into the room. \"Don\'t worry about how I found out. You have to tell me what\'s going on.\" Vera calmly told her. \"Sean is too much, isn\'t this harassment?\" Danni was outraged. \"It\'s great to be rich and powerful, isn\'t it? How can he treat you so bad? I think Judith is using him to vent her anger at you. You have to fight back!\" \"Forget it. Why are you so upset? I\'m not even angry. Even if he is taking Judith’s side, it\'s no surprise. They’re husband and wife, after all. Instead, I have to thank him for breaking the working relationship with me. From now on, I can start fresh.\" Vera pretended to be calm. Well, she couldn\'t change anything, right? \"But they’ve been throwing shit at you, and you can\'t just swallow everything that comes your way.\" Danni couldn’t understand why Vera was so calm. Avoiding Judith wouldn’t give her a fresh new slate, if anything, it meant she was letting Judith write her lin
Danni continued. \"Let Luna stay in that school, it’s bad for children to move to a different school in the middle of the school year. I’ll find a way. Don\'t worry too much about your job. A talented, multi-skilled woman like you will definitely find a job.\" Danni suddenly remembered something and continued talking. \"Oh...your field is software, right? Not just for mobile phones, but for any device?\" \"Well...I haven\'t gotten involved in games and the military. I wouldn’t say I can make software for any device, but I can learn. Plus, my strengths are not just software. I\'m very comfortable with the entire mobile phone. I can also do design.\" That was an understatement. The mobile phones she had designed and helped manufacture have won international awards. \"You’re such an amazing woman. Our company is working on a new type of surgical probe; we need software talents. I’ll recommend you.\" Danni knew that Sean had lost a lo
\"Daddy,\" Thomas said in a desperate voice. \"Dad, can’t you take me to school instead?\" Thomas didn\'t want to be hurt on the way to and from school, so he tried to negotiate. \"Why can\'t Mommy?\" Sean felt that Thomas was repelling Judith Song. Maybe Vera had taught him? \"It\'s not Mommy, you can\'t, you drop by when you go to work, if it\'s Mommy... I\'m afraid Mommy will get tired.\" Thomas covered it again. \"She is not busy, let her see you off every day.\" Sean turned and left after speaking. The next day Vera went to speak with the tenant, and the tenant agreed to let Vera live in a room. In this way, Vera moved the luggage out of the hotel again. It was a small comfort to her that she was now staying in a house that was left to them by her parents. The residence was settled, and she also decided to transfer Luna to a different school. Although it was not better than the original kin
\"Sir, Director Qin is a rare talent. Sooner or later, another company is going to find a way to get around the noncompete clause that you put in her contract. Even pressuring them not to hire her can only do so much. Our company covers a wide range of departments, and many departments need software development. Director Qin happens to be very good at what she does. Wherever she finds herself,\" Eric Xu said boldly, “She tends to flourish.” He knew more about Sean and Vera than anyone else, but everyone can see that losing her was a huge blow to them, and had created a bottleneck. The work she did in one day took several people much longer to complete, it they could even do it at all. But nobody else was willing to speak out, for fear of upsetting him. Eric Xu has been with Sean for four years. This was the first time Sean had trouble separating his personal affairs and his work. Sean’s was silent, his face gloomy. Kendra Sun, who was standing on t
After Sean got off work, he and Thomas went to Vera’s residence. When the car stopped in the community, Sean began to look around. It was clean and tidy, but it was too simple compared to the environment where he lived. Sean checked the address and knocked on the door of Vera’s house. A man in his sixties came to the door, and Sean’s heart jumped when he saw him. \"How can I help you, young man?” \"I\'m looking for Vera.\" Sean stood at the door and continued to look at the old man. \"Oh, Miss Qin? Please come in.\" The old man took Sean to Vera’s door and returned to his room. Sean didn\'t knock on the door, but pushed the door in. \"Auntie, Luna!\" As soon as the door opened, Thomas rushed in and hugged Vera who was standing by the bed. Then Sean entered and closed the door behind him. \"Tommy!\" \"How did you find us?\" Luna and Vera spoke at the s
Obviously it was a good house, but Sean temporarily changed his attention. I’m \"Mr. Qiao, thank you for your kindness, but I can\'t accept it. I’m no longer your employee, and I’m not qualified to enjoy this privilege.\" \"It’s getting late, we should go home,\" she said to Luna. Vera felt betrayed. He himself had expelled her and made sure she lost her job. He’d made things difficult for her everywhere, and now he thinks he can simply get her back by giving her a new house and taking her out to dinner. She can\'t fathom what went on in his head. Vera walked to Luna blankly, picked her up and turned around. Sean caught her, snatched Luna and put her down. \"Luna and Tommy, go to the children\'s room to play, there are a lot of toys. Uncle and Mommy have something to discuss.\" This time Sean remembered Thomas\'s words and tried to be softer when speaking to Luna. Before Luna and Thomas left, Sean took Vera’s han
\"I\'m just an ordinary person. I just want to have an ordinary life. Your status, it’s not compatible with the simple life I live. I can’t be your woman.\" \"Mr. Qiao, my ex-husband has contacted me. It is very likely that we will remarry, so please let me go.\" Vera made it up, but the idea calmed her heart. She wished it was true, it was a comforting thought that someone somewhere actually wanted her. Wanted her back. Sure enough, Vera’s words made him suddenly sit up and stare at her. Just now, Sean’s cell phone rang. Vera picked it up and handed it to him. \"Answer the phone.\" Sean glanced at the phone and immediately tightened his brows. Sean didn\'t take the call. Instead, he got up, quickly got dressed and left. He walked to the door then stopped. \"Your luggage will be delivered in a while. I said that you’re living here and I mean it. If you dare to provoke me, I’ll tie you to the bed.\" Vera sighed helplessly.
